Nasreddine Bennacer

NASREDDINE BENNACER WAS BORN IN 1967 IN GUELMA, ALGERIA. HE LIVES AND WORKS IN PARIS.

His aesthetic explorations question the concepts of culture, civilization and identity. Through a variety of media (including sculpture, painting on plexiglas, installation art), he has previously examined power dynamics, blending sensitivity and irony to deflate contemporary ideologies and to critique the nonsensical rationality of the world.

In his current work, strongly influenced by his new technical approach, Nasreddine Bennacer eludes obvious statements, preferring a pared-down lyricism. His works on japan paper, between abstraction and figuration, come from the meeting of media and technique, embracing the unexpected, going beyond the artist’s endeavor, allowing memories and glimpses to surface.

Nasreddine Bennacer’s work has been exhibited in institutions in France – including the Palais de Tokyo – and in Luxembourg; as well as during international fairs in Dubai, Miami, Moscow, London, Istanbul and Paris.
